[sub][color=#9e0b0f][b]⬦ H I S T O R Y[/b][/color][/sub][indent][indent][sub]New Terra was not always known as well…New Terra. Originally, it was Contana - a lush planet of bountiful resources. The early history of Contana is not all too much interesting as the colonial states were extremely pleasant to each other - stemming from a sense of united humanity in the cosmos. This ‘honeymoon’ phase of colonization lasted for a good decent while. Unfortunately, divisions formed between the colonial states-turned-nation-states as a result of different competing interests. On the continent of Merkopa, the Republic of Dercy, a nation diverse of humans and xeno, became the victim of its own mismanagement - owning its failures to financial collapse, an energy crisis, two failed proxy wars, and hordes of wild-xeno-lifeforms utterly destroying the outlying borders. The situation soon became too unstable for the central federal government, and it later collapsed after the newly elected President was killed in a freak accident. 

The young republic fell into a mass-civil war between aspiring leaders wishing to reshape the nation in its own image. One of these leaders was Newcastle, founder of the Terran National People’s Party and National Terran Army (N.T.A). Popular among the human working class due to the populist-anti-xeno-rhetoric employed by Newcastle, the National Terran Army saw its military ranks swell. Coupled with its quick seizing of important industrial infrastructure, the N.T.A was on the winning side of most of its conflicts with other breakaways. After six long years of struggle, Newcastle proclaimed the civil war over after capturing the last holdouts - proclaiming the Terran National State.

A period of recovery saw the Union quickly regain its footing under Newcastle - achieved more or less by seizing vast amounts of loot from certain parties and peoples. The dream of Newcastle was simple - the creation of New Terra. A world ruled by the supremacy of humanity - lording over the planet and Xeno. Of course, such a dream is not an easy one. 

Contana was not so open to the ideals of Newcastle and his newfound state. And thus began the so-called Great Struggle - a multi-decade-long period of Terran expansion. The history books tell of glorious conquest with humanity forcing everyone to heel - bringing forth a new age for Terran Unionism. Of course, that is far from the truth and quite romanticized. In reality, it was a gritty mess of convenient alliances, wars, proxy conflicts, trade wars, and espionage.

No matter the version subscribed to, the end result was the same. Under thunderous applause from billions, Newcastle broadcasted a new moniker for the state - the People's Union of New Terra. Alongside that, Contana was also given a new name, New Terra.

History does not end there, especially in light of new developments. The invasion and subjugation of Bludia, ever-growing tension between the A.F.U and Terran Legion, etc.  But that is best left out as these developments will bring themselves to light.[/sub][/indent][/indent]
[sub][color=#9e0b0f][b]⬦ C U L T U R E A N D S O C I E T Y[/b][/color][/sub][indent][indent][sub]New Terran culture is extremely conservative as society has regress back to traditional gender roles - at the detriment of women's rights. And as such, the public sphere has become a male-dominated space. You won't find any women in any position of notable power and most are relegated either to housework or menial jobs. Likewise, society expects males to be the stereotypical-masculine person and boss and females to be gentle, motherly, and docile. So - if you're a Terran male then life might be decent enough, neverminding the usual difficulties of life. For Terran females, things are...quite unfavorable, if not outright abysmal due to the current non-existence of laws on women's rights. And if you're a Xeno then you are just enslaved from birth to basically your life's worth - subjected to extremely cruel treatment.[/sub][/indent][/indent]

[sub][color=#9e0b0f][b]⬦ G O V E R N A N C E & P O L I T I C S[/b][/color][/sub][indent][indent][sub]The government of the People's Union of New Terra is a behemoth of an administration - labyrinthine in its different civil structures and institutions, and also quite dysfunctional due to constant infighting between different factions vying for resources and attention from its supreme leader. Given this, it is best to focus on these competing factions as the foundation of political play. 

The first and most significant is the Terran Storm Guard (SG). The Guard has its origins as a small guard unit to provide security to party rallies and disrupt rival political parties. Under the leadership of Osborne J. Brown, it transformed from a small-time paramilitary to one of the most powerful organizations in the People's Union of New Terra - forming its own parallel power structures. Consisting of the more radical and fanatical elements of the Union, the Terran Storm Guard seeks resources to swell its numbers and capability to manage its expanding industrial-slave factory complexes and territory. Similarly, the Guard also wishes to enlarge its own military, the Terran Legion, as a direct competition to the Armed Forces of the Union. The independent nature of the Storm Guard has also given rise to a government within a government - with special SG territorial regions operating as autonomous fiefdoms of various malevolent SG commanders and leaders.


The second is the Armed Forces of the Union (A.F.U) under the dual leadership of Terran Defense Minister Alex Waltman and High Marshal Felix von Steiner. The armed forces have always been a major power player in New Terra from its first conceptions - both as a symbol of Terran Might and as a potent political lobby. It was the A.F.U that conquered the enemies of New Terra, brought the Xeno to heel, and forged a golden age for Terran Unionism. Unfortunately, the glorious years of the A.F.U have long since passed. Rot and decay have set into the A.F.U - its over-bloated budget resulting in an unwieldy beast and a drain on the civil economy. It desperately clings to relevance - committing endless terror bombings over conflict zones to expend its excess stockpiles. 


The last and third faction of note is the Terran National Corporation (T.N.C) - representing the commercial interests of various industrial conglomerates found in New Terra. Those private enterprises form the backbone of the economy - churning out both consumer and military goods ripe for consumption. Their prime interest is to enrich themselves with resources and profits aplenty, but such plans are often contested by the concerns of the Storm Guard, A.F.U, and the Terran National People’s Party. Every major New Terran faction wants their fair share - often digging into the margins of private interests in the T.N.C. Simply said, the T.N.C rather take what is theirs, chew and eat their fill.[/sub][/indent][/indent]

[sub][color=#9e0b0f][b]⬦ M I L I T A R Y[/b][/color][/sub][indent][indent][sub]The Armed Forces of the Union (A.F.U) are the military forces of the People’s Union of New Terra - consisting of four service branches: the Army, Aerospace, Navy, and Marine Corps. The A.F.U has played a very decisive role in the history of New Terra as it was involved in the conquest and subjugation of the Union’s home system. Given this, the A.F.U is also a powerful influence and power in internal New Terra politics - having shaped various policies and decisions for its own benefit, often at the detriment of other things. One prime example is the over-bloated budget. The machinations of A.F.U commanders and leaders are quite…fantastical, to say the least. In order to spend the annual budget, the A.F.U leadership often ops to invest in wild-military projects and experiments. This normally results in dead-ends or extremely expensive military equipment that no one will ever buy/use as those projects are more made to rapidly use up their resource budget. 

Likewise, the A.F.U is also extremely large - too large for its own good. They have ungodly amounts of men, tanks, aircraft, ships, experimental items, artillery, and what have you - enough supply and goods to wage its past wars five times over. This brings a heavy toll on the civilian economy as industrial capacity is used up to create more guns than butter - neverminding the hellish maintenance of everything. Issues are further compounded by the difficulty of organizing the whole damn mess. The inherent logistical and bureaucratic issues involved in the management of such a large force merely amplify the disorganization of the A.F.U.

The Armed Forces of the Union is an unwieldy behemoth. And like the national government, also quite dysfunctional. The highest echelons of command cannot agree on the direction of the A.F.U. Different generals and commanders all have different visions for the future. No one can agree on a damn thing. To put it simply, the A.F.U is wholly defunct strategically. But do not assume the A.F.U is wholly toothless. On the tactical and operational scale, the A.F.U is competent in its functioning - their past war experiences informing them on how to conduct proper warfare. The maneuver of lighting fast offensives and localized overwhelming firepower is a doctrine well-developed and known all throughout the A.F.U. Unfortunately, we run into another issue - certain field commanders will often chase battlefield glory and overlook the goals assigned to them by the high command.[/sub][/indent][/indent]
